How To Enable The ECG App On Apple Watch Anywhere Without Jailbreak [2020]

Here is a step-by-step guide to enable the Apple Watch ECG feature for use outside the US. This easy method activates the Apple Watch ECG App hack in any country. You can now use the official Apple ECG app on Series 4 or Series 5 running watchOS 6 and iPhone with iOS 13. There is no need to jailbreak your device.

Apple Watch is the best selling smartwatch in the world. Tim Cook’s crowning achievement in the post-Steven Jobs era is selling like hotcakes. Within just five years of its launch back in 2015, the Apple smartphone is already outselling many established watch brands.

Unfortunately, the ECG monitoring feature is only available within the United States along with a handful of other countries. So if you own an Apple Watch but use it in a region where the ECG and Irregular Rhythm Notification feature isn’t officially functional yet, we have a workaround that might interest you.

Keep reading to learn a simple way to get Apple Watch ECG app hacked in a country outside the ones supported at this time. However, there are some caveats. Therefore, proceed with care.

Apple Watch ECG App:

The ECG (electrocardiogram) feature on the Apple Watch is a big technological leap in wearables. It constantly monitors your heart’s rhythm and electrical activity. This gadget uses the sensors attached to the skin to detect the electrical signals produced by your heart each time it beats.

The critical function of ECG monitoring is performed by Apple’s official app on the smartwatch. There are no third-party alternatives around at the time of this writing.

Ensure the following checklist is in order before proceeding to this 100% working activation process:

A Mac or Windows PC.

iMazing app to run on your computer.

iPhone with some amount of Health data already on it.

Also, don’t forget to create a full backup of your device, too. This backup will be in addition to the one we’re going to create.

How To Activate Apple Watch ECG App Feature In Any Country [The Easy Way]:

Step 1: Grab your Apple Watch and unpair it from your iPhone.

Step 2: Now, download the iMazing app from this link here and use it to create an encrypted backup of your iPhone. Your data backup must be encrypted otherwise Apple Watch ECG Hack won’t work.

Step 3: Once the backup is complete, edit the new backup that you just made in the iMazing app. For that, click the backup in the app, and then hit the “Edit” button.

Step 4: Next, select “Editable Backups” from the list in the left pane of the interface and navigate to HomeDomain/Library/Preferences.

Step 5: Get the PLIST and place it into that location. Overwrite any existing one, if needed. This new file will effectively enable ECG app on your Apple Watch even in countries not supported at this time.

Step 6: Now use the newly edited backup to restore your iPhone. To do so, go to your iMazing app, click “Editable Backups” in the left pane and select the backup you just edited. Once done, click on the “Restore to Devices” option from the right pane.

Step 7: Wait for the restore process to finish.

Step 8: When the restoration is over, pair your Apple Watch with iPhone again and set it up as a new device. Do not use a backup to restore your watch! This will wipe out everything you just did and overwrite it. In case you’re having issues, unpair and then re-pair. Give it a few more tries until the pairing is successful.

Step 9: All done. The ECG app should be up and running. You can start using it.

Final Thoughts:

It is recommended that you make a full backup on iCloud or iTunes before starting. After testing this on watchOS 6.1 running on Apple Watch Series 5 and iOS 13.2 iPhone, we can confirm this fully working method delivers on its promise.
